The Ypsilanti dress-stay factory has been moved ia to more commodious quarters. A fine gas engine has lately been added to its many improvements.

There are enough of us in the two cities to make a fine whirl. Doctor Hale, recent superintendent of the Ypsilanti Sanitarium, has set forth his alleged wrongs at the hands of George Moorman, in a lengthy circular which has been pretty freely distributed among our citizens. The action was hardly necessary as the majority of the citizens were in sympathy with his cause any way, and ccarcely any of the disclosures made were entirely unknown to the people of our city. '
